Each year during the months of November and December, the Illinois Lottery participates in the Gift Responsibly campaign organized by the National Council on Problem Gambling and International Center for Youth Gambling Problems and High-Risk Behaviors at McGill University. The campaign aims to educate on the dangers of buying lottery tickets for children, raise awareness about the risks of youth gambling, and support responsible gambling practices. The Illinois Lottery is a proud participant in the campaign and it signs up to promote the campaign at the highest participation level each year. The Illinois Lottery’s campaign efforts include a press release, social media posts, print and digital advertisements, a radio PSA, and messaging at retail point-of-sale.
CE accreditation is pending approval.
